The Xbox CPU (a Pentium III derivative) normally starts executing code at the top of memory (0xFFFFFFF0). However, the MCPX chip (Media and Communications Processor) acts as a "Northbridge" with a secret feature. Upon reset, it forces the CPU to execute code hidden inside the MCPX chip itself (this ROM) before the main BIOS is even loaded. This allows the system to verify the BIOS signature before booting.
